    I'm having Code 3 error on my High Definition Audio Controllers. It was perfectly fine a day before but now It's showing a caution sign under the drivers. I also can't see Realtek Audio Drivers or any other Audio related drivers. I have tried reinstalling Realtek Drivers but they don't show up either. And I have tried rollbacks but they don't work either.

    :)
